I was at a car show on Saturday down in Vero Beach FL. When I saw this beauty.
So I got talking with the owner and got the story. He's currently restoring another 54 at home and has it apart. But 4 months ago his parents had gone to dinner at a restaurant in the next town and on their way back they saw this car sitting outside a building and mentioned it to him since he had a similar car. A few days later he drove by and the car was still sitting outside. So he stopped in and inquired. The car ran and the guy was looking to get rid of it.
He bought it for US$40k, it also has a hardtop.
Wish I was that lucky.
